I endorse George Allen for U.S. Senate

I am proud to publicly endorse and support former Virginia Governor George Allen for U.S. Senate along with many of my State Central colleagues. These follow endorsements by Governor Bob McDonnell, Lt. Governor Bill Bolling, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Speaker Bill Howell, and many, many others. Like them, I appreciate what Allen accomplished in the past and want to see that leadership back in the U.S. Senate.

The press release:

Today, additional local Republican leaders from throughout Virginia joined many other legislators, grassroots activists, tea party members and community leaders in announcing their support of George Allen for U.S. Senate because of his long track record of strong, conservative leadership and proven pro-growth policies that helped Virginia businesses create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

“George Allen’s long record of conservative leadership in Virginia proves that he is the strongest candidate for U.S. Senate in 2012,” said Becky Stoeckel, 11th Congressional District Chairman from Fairfax City. “He knows that what we need to right our economic ship is a less intrusive, more efficient government that allows businesses to grow and thrive and create jobs. He will take his common-sense conservative values back to Washington and work to stop the out of control spending that has so damaged our economy and our quality of life. I could not be more happy to offer George Allen and his campaign for U.S. Senate my enthusiastic endorsement.”

“Governor Allen knows the people of the Commonwealth, particularly the people in the Northern Neck,” said Allen Webb, State Central Committee Member from King George. “I strongly believe that he understands our values and principles and will represent us well in the U.S. Senate. I am proud to offer my enthusiastic endorsement of his campaign for the United States Senate.”

Chesapeake State Central Committee Member Irene Hurst said, “George Allen was an outstanding Governor and the Commonwealth prospered under his leadership. Virginia needs his leadership again in Washington and I am proud to endorse his candidacy for United States Senate.”

Here is a list of additional Republican Committee members and unit chairs who endorsed George Allen in October.
